Live at ViVE: Strategies for Promoting Technological Equity (Techquity!)—with Gary Lynch

Innovation in healthcare exploded during the pandemic.

But many hospitals don’t have the infrastructure to take advantage of this emergent technology. And many people don’t have the devices or connectivity they need to manage their care.

So, how do we promote technological equity (also known as techquity)? How do we bridge the digital gap for underserved populations?

Gary Lynch is Global Practice Lead & CTO for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Verizon Business, where he manages a team of innovation principals, healthcare strategists and solution architects across the healthcare ecosystem.

Gary has over 20 years of experience leading transformation within the healthcare space, with a focus on accountable care, population health, revenue cycle, operations and business development.

On this episode of The Beat, recorded live at ViVE 2024, Gary joins hosts Dr. Jessica Shepherd and Dr. Gautam Gulati to discuss how telecom companies like Verizon will play a crucial role in the future of healthcare delivery.

Gary shares strategies for leveraging purpose-built technology to make healthcare more proactive and improve patient engagement in the process.
